Which artists do you just not get?

I love folk. I love rock n roll. I love jazz, classical, C&W, blues and bluegrass.

At the risk of being labeled a troglodyte, a philestine, or worse, I've never been able to listen to Bob Dylan without getting a headache. Reminds me of a cat and a chalk board. Same goes for The Grateful Dead. Maybe I wasn't doing the right drugs or something.

Who else has the courage to admit to disliking music that vast portions of the population seems to go gag-ga over?

Rule number 1, Don't get personal or call other posters names because they just dissed your favorite artist.

Rule number 2, keep it civil.

Rule number 3 - HAVE FUN!

Warren Zevon (RIP), Randy Newman. I just never got what the
hoopla was all about. Werewolves of London? Short People?
Huh? This kind of "outragious" writing makes critics darlings? I know they did other stuff, but....for 5 years or more back in the '70s these guys had streams of articles
written about how great they were. Theirs sounded like conventional material to me, compared to Zappa, Beefheart,
Reed, et al.

Dave Matthews--(has a killer drummer)--terrible songwriter, off-key & repulsive voice, going for soul but has none;
Randy Newman--ought to write the score for an Albert Brooks movie called "The Ruse"
Diana Krall--We go from Billie Holliday to this? Well, I guess Smooth Jazz is evidence that artistic culture can move in reverse.
